Re: Has the dial been refinshed?
In Response To: Has the dial been refinshed? ()

As far as I understood, you want to know: Nothing has been changed or re-done on this watch. Of course it has regular traces from wearing it, from time to time. The outer ring seems indeed faded on the photos, but in reality the outer ring is the same blue color as the center. The photos were made in the so called "chrome-mode" so the color may appear a little darker than real. Looking at other photos at the Internet, the Silverstone looks brighter. But now looking in the evening at it, it has realy a dark blue color, similar to my photos. And I repeat again, nothing was changed, replaced or added to this watch. Exept the braclett, it may be, that the original braclett was to big and I changed it to the actual one, but to be honest, I do not remember this. As I grow up in Biel, Switzerland where we had nearby the major watch-companies as OMEGA, BULOVA etc. I had always the opportunity to get some special watches. Unfortunately I kept only the Silverstone as replacement for my daily watch. A part of my family worked in the watch business and I owed her to be honest regarding this deal. If you want more details, photos, close-up's please feel free to ask.
